Just like Queensbridge whose residents, depending on personal preference, will say they live in Queensbridge or in LIC or in Ravenswood. Lefrak City may not have been the best example but there are obscure post-consolidation neighborhoods like Pomonok and Utopia which don't have their own ZIPs and somebody trying to determine the rough boundaries would be unable to do so. Others like Glendale and Ridgewood are consolidated withing the same ZIP and larger neighborhoods like Astoria have multiple ZIP codes. The ZIP code sytem makes a mess of the areas around Flushing. Some have ZIP borders splitting them in half with part of the neighborhood in one ZIP and the other part in the other.ZIP codes borders are rough guidelines to locate a neighborhood but they do nothing to determine its real boundaries. |
